The DAISIE project (Delivering Alien Invasive Species Inventories for Europe) has published a book, which provides an overview and assessment of terrestrial, marine and freshwater biological invasions at the Pan-European scale. The Handbook of Alien Species in Europe summarises the major findings of this groundbreaking research and addresses the invasion trends, pathways, and both economic as well as ecological impact for eight major taxonomic groups. Approximately 11.000 alien species recorded in Europe are listed, and fact sheets for 100 of the most invasive alien species are included, each with a distribution map and colour illustration. The online version of this book is already available for subscribers at the publisher's website. A hard-copy version is to be published in the early 2009.
